Gameplay
The player controls a ship at the bottom of the screen, able to shoot upwards but only so that one shot is on screen at any given time. Above him a pack of aliens move from left to right, then back. From time to time an alien or group of aliens will swoop and attempt to dive bomb the player. Once all aliens have been shot the player advances a stage and faces a more difficult variation on the same challenge.

gollark: That would literally work in no programming languages.
gollark: <@630513495003103242> It's true. Abigail multiplexed your online CSS transistor, which obviously overrode your primary TCP antennas, so now you're almost entirely disconnected to the internet. And there's nothing you can do about it.
